When it comes to the EV revolution, the numbers speak for themselves. According to the Global EV Driver Survey 2024, a whopping 97% of EV drivers are satisfied or very satisfied with their choice to go electric. Whether it's the lower operating costs, the thrill of driving cutting-edge technology, or the pride of reducing their carbon footprint, EV owners are charged up and loving the ride!
It’s not just about the cars themselves; it’s about a lifestyle shift. Here’s what motivated people to go electric, according to the survey:
One of the survey's standout findings is how EV drivers charge their cars. About 72% of all charging is done at home, making it incredibly convenient. Public charging stations and fast chargers account for a smaller share, but they’re crucial for road trips and urban commuters (Global EV Driver Survey 2024).
But it’s not all smooth sailing. Some drivers mentioned challenges like inadequate fast-charger coverage and occasional non-functional chargers. Nevertheless, the vast majority find EVs to be more than worth the minor inconveniences (Global EV Driver Survey 2024).
If you’re wondering whether EV drivers might ever return to gas-powered cars, the answer is crystal clear: 92% of drivers would choose another EV if they had to replace their current one. It seems once you experience the quiet efficiency, reduced costs, and environmental benefits of an electric vehicle, there’s no turning back (Global EV Driver Survey 2024).
The EV community is growing rapidly, with organizations like the Global Alliance of EV Drivers' Associations (GEVA) leading the charge in 38 countries. Together, these groups represent over 336,000 members worldwide who are advocating for better charging infrastructure, cleaner energy, and policies that make EV ownership accessible to all (Global EV Driver Survey 2024).
